John Williams Poet Rhyme

Swinging Spaniel

Swinging to and fro from side to side,
I wriggle my back, I'm on the glide,
I'm a cocker spaniel just laying back,
My owner built me my own hammock.

This grinning watch-dog is always moving,
Gentle swaying is so soothing,
Ah, life is nice on a summer's day, 
Especially with a breeze to aid your sway.


author's note: i saw this happening when i visited
 a work acquaintance. She had several cocker spaniels
and they would lay on their backs swaying to and fro 
in a hammock----what a sight it was---and the 
dogs were smiling
